Back in January, we informed you about an unofficial port of the first STALKER game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, in Unreal Engine 5. And last week, Red Panda released a new beta version of it.
Now in case you didn’t know, Red Panda has successfully ported a part of STALKER in Unreal Engine 5. This project uses the original assets, and features all of the game’s maps. However, it does have some dialogue, an AI system, an inventory and a map. The project also has gunplay mechanics, meaning that you can shoot enemies.
What’s also cool here is that this project now comes with a UE5 Editor. By using this Editor, PC players can now modify the game to their liking. In theory, this may provide new custom free content to the project.
Unfortunately, there is still no word on when this unofficial Unreal Engine 5 version of STALKER will be fully completed. Nevertheless, you can go ahead and download its latest test build from here. Just make sure to temper your expectations.
Kudos to our reader “apan65” for bringing this to our attention!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

uh oh something good in Unreal Engine 5, now let’s wait for the racists and homophobes to wake up.
Shut the FUQ up!
aaand here she is… lol, took your time. Did you have to wait until your mom went to bed before you could go online?
Nah,… Being ‘homophobic’ I had to wait till a tried and true Phaggot showed up. You keep dog whistling and I’ll show up.
calm down dear, you’ll just upset yourself.
>This project uses the original assets, and does not feature all of the game’s maps.
You are not right, shadow of chernobyl is playable from start to finish.
so whats the point of this?
Original assets mean it exactly looks like original Stalker. Maybe the lights are different but from the video I can not tell.
I hope someone will do something with RTX Remix and Stalker. With RT and a high quality texture pack it would look amazing I bet.
Wait what?

“Original assets mean it exactly looks like original Stalker.”
Not necessarily, but it does here.
I expected the lighting to be much better but apparently it’s not very refined by the modder yet.

Haha, LMAO. ??? Dude aren’t you tired of roasting people with under 10 words or less. You kill me man. Respect & thanks.
Best thing is that the owner himself came here and approved my post even though I was roasting him!
Gotta love REAL free speech places.
